People were going about their business as usual. Over in a large, dome shaped building, a group of people were relaxing and eating on a balcony. One of the people, a man with spiky, black hair, was chowing down with no signs of stopping. Given that his biology required a lot of calories, it was no surprise. The owner of the building, a blue-haired woman, was off to the side with a blue-skinned man with white hair. \u201cI\u2019m surprised you could find some time in your schedule to visit, Whis,\u201d remarked the blue-haired woman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWell, Lady Bulma,\u201d sighed the blue-skinned man, Whis, \u201cwhen you serve someone like Lord Beerus,\u201d he indicated the humanoid, purple, hairless cat with an Egyptian motif in his clothes that was napping in the sun, \u201cyou tend to have a lot of free time. Then again, a visit to your world is ALWAYS delightful when you invite us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYeah, barring any threats,\u201d muttered the blue-haired woman, Dr. Bulma Briefs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know, you and your friends seem to handle them quite well.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, Beerus lazily reached for something\u2026only to realize that what he was reaching for wasn\u2019t there. \u201cHm?\u201d He lazily opened an eye. His eyes bugged out when it hit him. \u201cHEY! WAIT A MINUTE! WHERE\u2019S MY CASHEW PORK?!\u201d he demanded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOops! Sorry!\u201d replied the black-haired man childishly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou glutton, Goku!\u201d snarled Beerus. \u201cThat was my naptime snack! I ought to destroy you for this!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOh, come on!\u201d complained Goku. \u201cThat\u2019s not fair! It was just so good!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cKeep talking, let\u2019s see how far-!\u201d Beerus\u2019 ear twitched. \u201c\u2026On second thought, there\u2019s something that requires investigation. Whis!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI hear it too, my Lord,\u201d replied Whis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIsn\u2019t that the TARDIS?\u201d asked Bulma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWell, with Gallifrey having come back, it\u2019s certainly A TARDIS,\u201d said Whis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHey! Over there!\u201d called Goku as the Doctor\u2019s TARDIS materialized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat\u2019s going on here?\u201d mused Beerus as something more interesting than food held his attention for the moment. \u201cWhy are they coming here?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWell, we can always ask,\u201d replied Whis. The TARDIS doors opened and the Doctor and Tysar stepped out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou took off after those readings like the Daleks were chasing us, Doctor,\u201d said Tysar. \u201cWhat\u2019s wrong?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTwo chronal surges centered around here according to Gallifrey, that\u2019s what,\u201d replied the Doctor. \u201cThat means the Grouping\u2019s starting to get worse.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAh! Lady Doctor!\u201d greeted Whis. The Doctor looked up and goggled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhis!\u201d returned the Doctor. \u201cAnd Lord Beerus! Good to see you again!\u201d She then spotted Goku and Bulma. \u201cAnd you, Goku and Bulma!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026I don\u2019t think we met before,\u201d remarked Goku.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI KNOW we never met before,\u201d said Bulma. \u201cWhere\u2019s the Doctor?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat IS the Doctor,\u201d said Beerus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHuh?!\u201d yelped Goku and Bulma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t you remember?\u201d asked the Doctor. \u201cThat whole business with Frieza wanting to make a wish on the Dragon Balls but you and Amy made your own wishes, Bulma?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGood grief, it IS you!\u201d called Bulma. \u201cBut how?! You\u2019re completely different!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTime Lords tend to change their physical makeup when they\u2019re about to die somehow,\u201d replied Whis. \u201cNow, Lady Doctor\u2026what\u2019s this about the Grouping? Surely it already happened?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026I\u2019m afraid there\u2019s a new one and\u2026I\u2019m partially to blame,\u201d replied the Doctor. \u201cYou see, Amy was encouraged by her future to come with me, then a whole thing surrounding the TARDIS happened on Gallifrey, resulting in the TARDIS\u2019 heart bi-generating so the old heart becomes the new Eye of Harmony-.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd that released its stabilization over the paradox surrounding Amy,\u201d finished Whis, \u201cresulting in chronal surges. I see you have a Thal with you. Does that mean Amy told her past to go with you?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYes, and she\u2019s on Mobius. Her return there is another thing that I really don\u2019t have time to explain. I\u2019m trying to send people back to their native times like Tysar here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHello,\u201d said Tysar. \u201cTurns out the frequency of chronal surges is happening faster. I got plucked from New Davius and landed in Gotham, then we had to save Martin Luther King Jr.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHm, that IS a worry,\u201d remarked Whis. He then summoned his staff out of thin air and peered into it. \u201cHm, You\u2019re right, two chronal surges are on approach. One is centered around this planet, the other\u2026I\u2019m not too sure I-.\u201d That was when the chronal surges washed over everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOh heavens!\u201d gulped the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThey arrived at the same time,\u201d shuddered Whis. \u201cIt really IS getting worse!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDoctor, what does that mean?!\u201d asked Tysar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTime is unravelling,\u201d replied the Doctor. \u201cAll we\u2019re doing is treating the symptoms when we should be finding the cause.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m afraid I can\u2019t help you much there,\u201d sighed Whis as he peered into his staff again. \u201cWhile that paradox surrounding Amy was the seed, I don\u2019t think it\u2019s your TARDIS\u2019 old heart becoming the new Eye of Harmony that\u2019s the source.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ll discuss those theories later,\u201d said the Doctor. \u201cRight now, we need to find who was taken or brought here and bring them back to their original points in space\/time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNow that, I CAN help you there,\u201d smiled Whis. \u201cIt looks like no one from the present was taken. It looks like one chronal surge took someone from the past and put them here while the other surge took someone from just a few seconds in the future to right here. \u2026It looks like that last one-.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPoyo?\u201d asked a childish voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHm?\u201d Beerus looked down at his feet\u2026then yowled in terror and scrambled up to a higher place!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLord Beerus, why are you acting-?\u201d Whis trailed off when he saw what Beerus was freaking out over. It was a pink ball with a face, stumps for arms, and big feet!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cKirby?!\u201d yelped the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLORD BEERUS, MOVE OVER!\u201d Whis shrieked in terror as he tried to join his master.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNO! FIND YOUR OWN BUTT SHELTER!\u201d shouted Beerus in a panic. Everyone just stared at the God and Angel scrambling to get away from Kirby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026Lord Beerus, Whis, what on Earth is wrong with you?\u201d asked the Doctor. \u201cKirby\u2019s got an appetite, yes, but-.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t you know that thing\u2019s reputation, Doctor?!\u201d yelped Whis girlishly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDoctor?\u201d asked Kirby as he tilted his face in confusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYes, Kirby, it\u2019s me,\u201d replied the Doctor. \u201cRemember when we fought the Weeping Angels on Popstar? You sucked up Rassilon\u2019s regeneration energy and became Time Lord Kirby. And we won against the Angels too.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDoctor!\u201d cheered Kirby happily as he leapt into the Doctor\u2019s arms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s good to see you too, Kirby!\u201d replied the Doctor happily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDoctor, you\u2019re friends with a Star Warrior?\u201d asked Tysar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOh, you know about them?\u201d quizzed the Doctor. \u201cI met Kirby when I was on a quest for the Key to Time. I remember Kirby being a hungry boy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDoctor, that pink menace eats and eats and eats! Even gods have been consumed by him!\u201d protested Beerus. \u201cMy Hakai technique won\u2019t do any good!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFor your own safety, please get away from him and let me send him back!\u201d urged Whis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOh, come now!\u201d dismissed the Doctor as she set Kirby down. \u201cHe\u2019s not dangerous to his friends and he\u2019s made many friends!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHold on, Beerus,\u201d said Goku, \u201che\u2019s scary to you and Whis?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGoku, you\u2019re not thinking of fighting that horror, are you?!\u201d argued Whis. \u201cEven Grand Zeno wouldn\u2019t dare!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhis, you\u2019re just exciting Goku!\u201d snarled Beerus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI wouldn\u2019t bother picking a fight, Goku,\u201d said the Doctor. \u201cKirby\u2019s not a fighter by nature.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAw!\u201d complained Goku. \u201cBut I wanna know how strong he is!\u201d Kirby then saw the food and gurgled happily. He then opened his mouth and inhaled! The food flew into his mouth and Kirby only stopped when it was all gone! Bulma and Goku goggled in surprise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat was enough to feed ten Saiyans!\u201d yelped Bulma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s called the Devourer among us gods and angels for a reason!\u201d called Beerus. \u201cNow let Whis get rid of him and-!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAbsolutely not!\u201d defended the Doctor. \u201cWe might need him to help out with the other fellow that got caught up in the chronal surge.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDoctor, that\u2019s no longer your call to make!\u201d replied Whis. \u201cNow move aside so-!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHang on!\u201d interrupted Goku as he looked to the north. \u201cSomething\u2019s just popped up.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOh? And what\u2019s that?\u201d asked Beerus. \u201cWhat\u2019s more important than getting rid of a menace?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026IT\u2019S CELL!\u201d yelped Goku.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat?! Cell?!\u201d Bulma\u2019s eyes widened in fear. \u201cBut how?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMight I ask who this Cell person is?\u201d asked the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA Bio-android with the DNA of Goku and all his friends!\u201d explained Bulma. \u201cDesigned by a Red Ribbon army scientist to kill Goku!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBut my son, Gohan, killed him years ago!\u201d said Goku.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhis, can you-?\u201d asked Bulma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLet me have a little looksee,\u201d replied Whis as he looked into his staff. \u201c\u2026Oh my! It IS that Cell monster your son killed, Goku! It looks like he ended up in the ruins of that arena he made.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe gotta get there now!\u201d urged Goku.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd send him back to when he\u2019s supposed to die,\u201d remarked Beerus. \u201cWhis-!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYes, I know, Lord Beerus,\u201d sighed Whis. He raised his staff, surrounded everyone in a green bubble, then everyone vanished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWAIT! YOU BROUGHT THE PINK-!\u201d Beerus\u2019 warning came too little, too late.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It was a warm, sunny day in West City.
